Adviser Assembly Program Planning Committee The American spirit of neighborliness pervades our language classes. Reading in the foreign tongue, we come to know other nations and their peoples, to share their joys and sorrows. Films and slides give us glimpses of the everyday life and the cus- toms of other countries. As we learn to speak their language, or to sing their songs, as we discover depths of beauty in their art, we feel a close kinship to these people and gain a broader concept of their contributions to our culture.

Rona Rubin and David Sarnecky listen as Noreen Connors demonstrates the use of the recording machine. ‘ Our proud heritage of English and American literature provides a back- ground for our education. Through our courses we improve our command of the English language and learn to express our- selves in speech and writing. Masterpieces of literature, old and new, come alive as we read them together in our classes. With the ready help of our school libra- rians, we make the acquaintance of authors who, through the years, will prove stead- fast friends, giving us pleasure as well as enlightenment.

Spevack admire the ma+h exhibit. cJlocjical thin k Day in and day out, we have reason to be grateful for the thorough grounding we re- ceive in mathematics in the high school. In our everyday math classes, we learn the arith- metic processes used in everything from mar- keting to manufacturing, from budgeting to building. The study of higher mathematics teaches us to cultivate habits of accuracy and logical thinking; it prepares us to undertake advanced work in technical fields. In all, our courses are geared to help us keep in step with our fast-moving world. A. Estok. R. Chojnacki, D. Gtadis, L. Hagen on location for a Mathematics Department project. Leah Kirshner, B.S.Ed.
